Homes and businesses have been abandoned. Some of them job it has more from contending tens of thousands of people who would lined up the square with all that was they could carry with them. A people who were in the cars were chewing up to leave outside and, and leave the city.

The comments of the senator from new york state. Also he has talked about 702, and let me refer to that a bit. Section 702 is in s. 139, the amendments reauthorization act of 117.

Republicans and democrats would be jumping up same way. That violates t

Aside from standing issues, the process of handling classified materials, stamped with clearances is a challenge with the courts and they have shown timidity when taking on the government and they defer to the government or rather than challenge the government or look for the least intrusive for the rights with Civil Liberties. So make a pitch for the krif liberties oversight board, we complement the judicial. We can meet with the nsa and cia and fbi informally and confer with congress informally without rules of evidence and standing requirements and have a review not limited to lelt review, although we did a legal review in the and i was pleased the Second Circuit adopted our legal analysis and we can do policy review and make recommendations to the president and to congress, not only on whether something is con
